Project Involvement Timeline

I was brought in to help on this attraction in the fall of 2023. Creative Director, Dan Jenkins, needed some assistance sequencing and synchronizing the many onboard and offboard elements of the attraction.

I spent most of November 2023 on site in Osaka dialing in the timing for the animated figures, onboard audio cues, and water effects.

The attraction opened in December 2024.
